I was wondering why I wasn't getting any credit for this quest, but then I took a closer look at what I was punting...IT WAS GNOMES!

Comment by FeyGyrl

a note for those with companions, like warlocks with summoned demons, for example ~grin~ When I picked up my cute wittle turtle to punt, and punted him into the water, I found my demon had been dismissed, so you'll have to summon your demon after every kick. Hopefully, this is a glitch they'll correct with a hotfix or something.

BEST. QUEST. EVAR.

Comment by mbalicki

Great quest, or greatest quest?

Comment by redredkroovy98

While doing the quest, did anyone else think of the Simpsons episode where Homer was trippin' out from that chili pepper and punted that tortoise like ten miles?

Comment by Gizlone

This is the 2nd quest I've done that involves throwing animals

What the hell, Blizzard?

Comment by bluewyvern

Kick the turtle baby!

Comment by Bozicek

I just live the sound, when you kick it into the water. POINK

Comment by MoarHeroisms

The auto-complete popup reads:

<Mylune's voice echoes in your head, along with an unwanted image of playful kittens.>

This is what happens when you let NPCs inside your head. I told Blizzard it was a bad idea!

I wanted to do this daily since I saw the Blizz Blues with Darnell video about it on the PTR. It has replaced whacking pygmies with a big hammer as my favorite daily. I love the hell out of how damn FAR the turtles fly-it sometimes takes as long as 10 seconds for you to get credit for the turtle hitting the water! Great stuff.

You were probably in a raid group. Just reset your UI.

Question. Is it possible to do this quest, along with the bear tossing one, more than once? After I completed it once, I noticed the achievement for those two but she hasn't offered a quest since. Am I too late?

"If I don't save the wee turtles, who will!"

Comment by Urrpeg77

Personally, this is my favorite daily, because come on! You can kick baby turtles!

Comment by ShuBox

It should also be noted that hitting Shift + V will show the turtle's nameplates, making finding them a lot easier.

Comment by error10

If you're on a busy server and having to constantly fight to get to the turtles, this might help you. Camp at 24.7, 60.7 and wait for a Child of Tortolla to spawn. At this location you can ignore Flame Terrors as a Defender of Malorne will spawn and kill them for you. Just pick up the turtles and punt them into the water without even moving from the spot.

Unfortunately the defenders will not gank players who go into combat with you at this spot; you're still on your own there.

Comment by shimonu

You can move when you are holding turtle

Comment by adamdhoward

Note for those of us with summoned pets/companions:

Instead of having to either burn shards or recall, you can hop on your mount and hop right off again to re-gain your pet.

If I were to take a stab at it, I would say that there is a problem with their "Leave Vehicle" code, in that you see the vehicle UI pop up upon grabbing a turtle.

This trick does not seem to work, however, if you take the FP from Nordrassil to the Sanctuary...at least it was the case as of this morning on Trollbane.

but I like kittens. :) for dinner. >;}

Comment by flinter

when ever i do this quets i usualy run with the turtle yelling "HE CAN GO ALL THE WAY" and when i kick the turtle in the water i yell "KICK IS GOOD!"

Comment by goldenbender

If you punt the turtle onto a nearby elemental, it will....shoot up into the air and die...

Comment by Baldmurder

Cant believe this has not been mentioned yet.

If you mount just as you tossed the turtle (most likely you will have this urge after throwing the last 1) you will not get credit for it.

No idea why this occurs but i noticed this several times

Comment by paullfall

I've given up on this quest for my Frost Mage and Warlock, who both depend on their elemental/minion in fights. I understand that you can mount and dismount to regain the companion, but sometimes circumstances (like being in battle with the fire elemental) don't allow for that so easily. I think Blizz needs to find a way to fix this, because it's much more difficult for those classes than it is for others.

Mr. Starkey: "No splash, captain!"

Comment by SylvanElf

This is INSANELY funny! Best thing is the "ploink" sound when yoiu kick 'em! I wish there were a proper kick animation to go along with it!

Comment by longueiro12

I'd just like to point out how awesome this quest name is by making a pun on "Hunting Season" with "(Pun)ting season".

Comment by Borelia

For maximum enjoyment, get a running start, then punt the turtle while jumping and yelling "Hai-keebah!" at your desk.

Comment by NinjaLooterLoveU

Now if you have a demon pet, upon punting they do not disappear, causing you to resummon them over & over & over & over & over, and rebuff them over & over & etc. Start of this year, they fixed it! :)

Comment by braxynglet

Not sure wether anything thought of this before, but i mightve found a eastern egg here. The sound that the turtle makes upon being kicked/thrown is quite similar to the sound that the turtle in an old Disney-Pluto episode makes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEVnRyUfoBw). Might be a long shot, but what caught my attention is why on earth would a turtle make such a sound? ;)

Sleepless nights watching disneychannel ftw.

Comment by Tesal

it felt like playing a Football game ... :>

Comment by mitgr81

I just can't get over how awesome the completion text is.

Comment by snowieken

Mylune rules! :-)

On a side note, does anyone else gets this "uh oh" feeling when you are somewhat overwhelmed by mobs and have to kick the turtle fast to be able to fight, and then you don't get credit for it? Meaning, you probably killed it on the rocks below.

Comment by Nulgar

Shamans, Warlocks and Hunters can cheat: While not in combat, use / Banish / Trap Launcher + Freezing Trap* on a Flame Terror next to a turtle, run up to the turtle - the CC'ed elemental will go into combat, but you will not -, pick it up, kick it into the water, mount and fly up - the elemental resets.

* Sadly, the CD makes it not as effective as the other two, but you can skip every other Terror that way, if you're going for time efficiency.

Comment by Merylyan

When Bert the turtle sees a kick approaching... He ducks, and cover!

"<Mylune's voice echoes in your head, along with an unwanted image of playful kittens.>"

I'd pay an extra month's sub just to see what happens when Mylune tries to telepathically talk to demons. Or the Old Gods.
